"SAFE AS MILK"
<reissue, originally published in 1967 on Buddah red label>
LP BUDDAH RECORDS STEREO BDS 5001
PRINTED IN U.S.A. LATE-60S/EARLY-70S REPRESSING
NOTES ABOUT THE LABEL & THE COVER:
[according with Golmine (5th Edition) Guide to Collectible Record Album]
From 1968 until the multi-color label had a silhouette of a Buddah on the bottom.
This version: housed in a "Mono" outer sleeve despite being in a stereo format.
Paste over front cover is typically aligned "lower" on the cardboard sleeve
to expose BDS 5001 on upper right corner and STEREO in upper left corner.
This lowered front pasted slick then hides BDM 1001 (which is wrapped onto back
cover and then pasted over with the back cover slick) for stereo releases.
The Buddah Records logo thus appears lower on the front cover for stereo releases
than it does for mono releases. The exemplar cover for this release
with the oval "stereo" sticker and exposed BDM 1001 was likely to utilize
overstocked "mono" covers for a repressed stereo record.
No custom inner sleeve or bumper sticker included with exemplar.
"BDS 5001" on label indicates stereo.
"BDM 1001" on sleeve indicates mono.
Disc matrix etchings of BDS-5001-1 on A side and BDS-5001-2 on B side indicate stereo release.

Beefheart's first proper studio album is a much more accessible, pop-inflected brand of blues-rock
than the efforts that followed in the late '60s -- which isn't to say that it's exactly normal and straightforward.
Featuring Ry Cooder on guitar, this is blues-rock gone slightly askew, with jagged, fractured rhythms,
soulful, twisting vocals from Van Vliet, and more doo wop, soul, straight blues,
and folk-rock influences than he would employ on his more avant-garde outings.
"Zig Zag Wanderer," "Call on Me," and "Yellow Brick Road" are some
of his most enduring and riff-driven songs, although there's plenty
of weirdness on tracks like "Electricity" and "Abba Zaba." ...(AllMusic)
